The coalition government has proven itself willing to be bold in reforming the state education system. The landscape of schooling has already begun to change as a result of moves to make academy status the norm across England and establish so-called 'free schools', both directly funded (in whole or part) by the state and systematically lessening the role of local authorities. Michael Gove's recent statement on the status of GCSEs and the introduction of a new qualification – the English Baccalaureate Certificate (EBC) – have been greeted as another momentous change, but what do the reforms really mean and who is likely to win (and lose) as a resultFri, 28 Sep 2012 15:20:00 GMThttp://www.birmingham.ac.uk/research/activity/education/crre/news/2012/examining-exams.aspxSocial SciencesLecturer recognised for his exceptional work with Award for Excellence in Teachinghttp://www.birmingham.ac.uk/schools/education/news/2012/09/excellence-in-teaching-award.aspx
